I am a developer who was hired to do some front-end CSS/XHTML work. This is a pretty large website with pretty tight restrictions, so I'm wondering... Of course the website is completely CSS based and not table based at all, but I was told from multiple sources that there should never be any tables on your website. "It slower to load and not considered a modern standard." The site I'm building has a lot of content which could probably in a table - so I'm wondering if there is some sort of alternate way to achieve a table - maybe with using CSS? How do you display a list of data, if not in a table.
You can use div-s in HTML in order to set a multiple column and row layout, then assign IDs to the div-s that will enable CSS styling for each one.
